A 1.9 kg tennis ball is slammed by a player who changes direction by 180°, keeping its speed of 21 m/s the same. What impulse is required to redirect the ball?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]J=P_2-_{}P_1=0[/tex]

Explanation: To redirect the ball, or reverse its direction, the Impulse required would be:

[tex]\Delta P=0\rightarrow\text{ For the Ball}[/tex]

Because the initial and final velocity should remain the same:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ The Impulse required would be:} \\ \Delta P=P_2-_{}P_1 \\ P_2=_{}P_1\Rightarrow P=(1.9\operatorname{kg})\cdot(21ms^{-1})=39.9\cdot(kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-1}) \\ \therefore\Rightarrow \\ \Delta P=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]
